Mission

Love Detroit is part of a movement spreading across America— joining together adoration of the Father and proclamation of the gospel for 24/7 intimacy and mission. Beyond this now two-week long outreach, our prayer is to see 24/7 adoration of Jesus and 24/7 proclamation of His love lived out every day of our lives – because He is worthy!

- The Mission -

When people hear “Detroit,” they often think of violence, destruction, and corruption. Everywhere we go, we hear people believing this lie of hopelessness over Detroit because they fail to see the many pastors and laborers who haven’t compromised, and are continuously plowing in the city. We believe, if the Church comes together in unity through the Father’s heart, radical change is going to spread throughout Detroit and release hope to other cities across the nation and around the globe.

- Our Heart for the City -

Nothing brings God pleasure like communing with His children and drawing their hearts to Himself. When we experience the Father’s love, we can’t help but respond in love for Him and those around us (The Greatest Commandments). In this, we realize the Gospel is not something that is preached, but lived out. By living out the gospel, we teach others to do the same (The Great Commission).

- The Need for 24/7 Worship, Prayer & Evangelism -

God is calling His bride to engage His heart so that from that place of intimacy, we all can know how He sees Detroit and boldly proclaim it back into our city. Unite with us and the faithful Detroit laborers to live out constant humility, obedience, worship, prayer, and mission, so we can create a city-wide altar for God to produce lasting change.

Registration

Love Detroit was birthed out of the burning heart of God for day and night intimacy and mission. God wants us to know Him and spend time with Him (intimacy), and out of the overflow of knowing who He is and who He says we are, we pour ourselves out into our neighbors and cities (mission). This is a divine movement of the convergence of the Great Commandments (to love God and to love people) and the Great Commission (to preach the gospel and make disciples).

Welcome to the Firebase.

Love Detroit FAQs (frequently asked questions)

Love Detroit is a ministry with a heart for intimacy with the Father. We believe that when you behold the Father, you will get His heart for the world. When you spend time in the secret place in prayer and worship, the Father’s love will compel you into outreach and mission. This is our heart.

Love Detroit is a ministry that partners with other Pastors, ministries, and communities to reach neighborhoods with the Gospel. We believe that outreach becomes much more fruitful and powerful when backed with unending prayer and adoration of the Father.

Love Detroit shows this heart in the city of Detroit and beyond in a few different ways.

The yearly event, Love Detroit 2017, is two weeks of 24/7 prayer and worship combined with 24/7 evangelism. Starting with a launch event and closing in celebration, prayer and worship will continue constantly for two weeks at the Firebase while teams of messengers are sent out every six hours.

Our vision is to see a Firebase established in the city of Detroit. We wouldn’t stop with just 24/7 worship and prayer, but we’d combine it with outreach. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Because Jesus is worthy!

Because HE is worthy. Faithful laborers in Detroit have been sowing their time, prayer, and ministry efforts to see His name glorified in a city many have deemed hopeless. We want to come alongside one another as believers in Christ to see lasting change for His Kingdom.

Love Detroit is made possible by God through several full and part-time missionaries, church/ministry partners, and volunteers, from Detroit and various cities throughout the nation. We’re a small group of Jesus followers with a big assignment from God. If you know God wants you to join us in the mission, we’d love to hear from you at info@lovedetroit247.com – this is going to take the whole body!

Participants can check-in anytime after 12pm on the Saturday before LD 17 begins, May 6th. Worship, prayer, and outreaches will be taking place 24hrs a day at the Firebase until May 21st at 6pm, so you can come and go at any time.

We believe God has uniquely gifted His body to function in different areas of operation, but with equal importance (1 Cor. 12).

The specific outreach locations are still being determined, but transportation will be provided from the Firebase. All messengers will meet at the Firebase before and after each outreach to brief and debrief. Your on-site outreach leaders will be able to answer any questions or concerns you have for each outreach.
